Who has one of any sort? And how does it work for you? Do you like it? I have a 19' kenner with a 115 opti. that I am thinking about putting one on.

Seems to be an echo in here!
Just kidding! Sea Dawg that's a really nice looking boat you have...tunnel and jackplate make all the difference for sure!

I also have 19' Kenner with tunnel and Yamaha 90 put a hydro foil on mine helps me keep water on prop when turning at a high speed had trim tabs also due to the fact that my spouse is lighter than me and it would help with a port side list I have, however I been fixing that with weight distribution.

Does it hurt the value of the motor to drill holes in the motor flange for the hydrofoil? Does the foil make a huge improvement? My 200 Yam sits down way too low at less than half trottle. I am a little confused on tabs, flaps, plates, jacks. I promise to be less needy and more helpful when I get educated. Thanks for any assistance. I have read the thread started by BB back in April.
